tracking releases of 3rd party plugins

Hi community,

I am with NSIS since 3 years. Recently I found out by chance, that a plugin (RealProgress - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/RealProgress_plug-in) had a new release. I think I use the previous version for about 3 years. By looking at the wiki page there is no information about version progress or any version history.

I do not want to complain first, I just want to know if someone has a some good hints how to handle the situation. I am sure that NSIS core developers already had a discussion about this topic. What is your strategy for an up2date NSIS system with recent version of 3rd party plugins?

If the plugin can be downloaded from the wiki you can check its history. Here is a link to the history page for the RealProgress plugin:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/File:RealProgress.zip

I frequently check the wiki's "Recent Changes" page to help keep up to date with changes to the plugins I use:
